Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present! (Part 8)

[courtnej]

Well my iMac is a year old but its still an intel based one, thanks for the info will defo get onto that

 

[ayeying]

SO Ive noticed a few people have an additional monitor attached to their iMacs - just wondering what connection I need to get to connect an acer monitor to my own iMac - is it the displayport to VGA Adapter?

Also out of interest what do people use their additional monitors for?

I used to have a external 20" display with my system but I resorted back to using "Spaces" in Leopard. While it does have its disadvantages, it is a lot better then just one desktop space available.

I get really anal when I see a bunch of wires on my desk. So I only have 1 power cord (if I'm at the desk) and a wireless receiver for my mouse and it makes me happy.

F****** awesome setup and photography... They look so alive

 

[pudrums]

Do you mean the painting of the dancers or the wall plastered with photos?

I meant the paintings, they are great! Did you paint them or can they be bought anywhere?

Cheers Ya it was for my GCSE art project couple of years ago. You could probably do it relitivly easy. Make some stensils, prime a wooden board then stick the stencils down with some double sided tape. Get some spray paint and spray away. You probably can't see the lines around them in white chalk because they've faded and been wiped off. But theres some white chalk lines flowing around the dancers as a sort of aura and motion lines. Then I stuck the 3 boards onto a bigger board that I primed. I think they took me about 5 hours to do. Oh and for making the stencils I printed of some pictures that I also edited on the computer, Printed them onto ascitate paper (clear plastic) and projected them onto large card, hand drawn the edges from the projection then cut it out.

Good luck

Can you tell me how you fit the center channel behind the iMac screen? Did you just remove the legs?

 

[Skorpion24]

Yes I've removed the legs

snip awesome pics

How do you like that mouse? It's essentially a diamondback, just white right? And also, how do you like the Pro|Pad?

Sweet setup btw.

Cheers, cool, A2 product design is the best
Theres one thing building a bass but you didn't design it? ...
Did you buy a kit or work all the wood yourself? Thing is I don't know where you can get marks for just 'building' something, not designing it and no innovation. Don't want to put you down btw, I'm just curious.

Yup, I'm going to uni to study architecture because its the most challenging design course availiable. At the moment it looks as though I may be going to Nottingham Trent but I haven't accepted anything yet. What about you?

I need to get myself a dslr but I probs can't afford it unless I get a scholarship that I've applied to. Up to £10500 a year fingers crossed, I think I have to do soem presentations to some companies that may decide to sponsor me... I'm not good at presentations.

No offence taken! I can see where you're coming from.
In terms of design, I have pretty severe back problems from playing bass, I now have an unnatural curve in my spine. I needed a bass that looked the business and I could play on stage (I'm semi-professional), so went for the standard looking jazz bass design, but actually this bass is about 60%-70% lighter than my standard jazz bass, as well as a shifted centre of gravity that'll will prevent my spine from curving when I play, as well as a few other features that I can't really list for fear of turning this into an essay, haha. It doesn't look innovative, but a lot of work went in to this. And, it sounds amazing.

And no, it wasn't a kit, I worked all the wood myself.

Nice, looking at Coventry and Bristol at the moment for Product/Industrial design, but like yourself, haven't accepted any offers. Good luck with the Scholarship!

Nastalgia!

Wow ... some great pics of old & still useful equipment on the last page.

I actually am still impressed that my old 3400C connected to a Spectre 11" LCD (VGA) without any driver junk or hesitation back in 1999.

Thats a sweet set-up there.

What does it look like behind the desk?

I've never seen such a clean setup that has two desktops on it.

BTW How is the HP Media Smart? I'm thinking about getting one.

[iMpathetic]

"nothing special but it does the trick"

It is something special for sure.

How are you liking the Cosmos/Stacker? (can't tell)

 

[CrazyScott]

Yea its a cosmos. I love it, its by far the best chassis i've owned

Here my Mac Pro and PC.

your Mac's desktop looks a little bit 'brighter' or 'washed out' than you PC's desktop as it is using 1.8 gamma which is OS X's default. if you change it to 2.2 gamma in Calibration Assistant which is the Windows default it will match your PC's desktop.

supposedly Snow Leopard will have 2.2 gamma which is great as it looks better, more vibrant and will match all the other PC screens as a standard.
